Louis Roederer just released her 24 K Cristal 2002 Jeroboam bottles. Handcrafted by two master goldsmiths over four days, the over-sized bottle has a very regal medallion design. Just 400 were made, 200 are available for retail.

In a trendy nightclub in New York two of these bottles were sold for 100.000 $ !

Of course Best Of Wines acquired one bottle for retail. Interested in tasting some liquid gold?

Roederer’s 2002 Cristal is still in its infant, fresh stage. Subtle notes of pears, flowers, spices, mint, minerals and oak are woven into a cashmere-like frame of extraordinary grace and elegance. This beautifully-sculpted Champagne possesses notable clarity but with the additional depth of fruit that is characteristic of this vintage. It is a gorgeous, seductive Cristal of the highest level. In 2002, Cristal is 60% Pinot Noir and 40% Chardonnay with 10 grams of dosage. 20% of the wine was fermented in oak.
